I have been a fan of Jane Austen's 1811 novel, "Sense and Sensibility" ever since I saw Ang Lee's 1995 adaptation. In fact, the 1995 movie initiated my appreciation of Austen's novel and other works. But there is a certain aspect of Austen's tale that has confused me for years. And it has to do with Edward and Robert Ferrars and their family's fortune.

"Sense and Sensibility" told the story of Elinor and Marianne Dashwood - the older two of three sisters that encountered love, heartache and romantic obstacles when their father's...

Jane Austen's 1811 novel, "Sense and Sensibility" has been a favoriete with her modern-day fans. The novel has produced at least three televisie and two movie adaptations and a literary parody. However, this review is about the seven-part, 1981 BBC adaptation.

Directed door Rodney Bennett and adapted door Alexander Baron and Denis Constanduros, "SENSE AND SENSIBILITY" starred Irene Richards and Tracey Childs as the two main protagonists - sisters Elinor and Marianne Dashwood. The story focused on the sisters'...

For some reason, I still find it hard to believe that until recently, very few people were aware that the first adaptation of Jane Austen's 1811 novel, "Sense and Sensibility", dated as far back as 1971.

"SENSE AND SENSIBILITY" (1995) Review

In 1995, the BBC aired Andrew Davies’ miniseries adaptation of Austen’s most famous novel, ”Pride and Prejudice”.

I believe that Jane Austen was way ahead of her time in a literary sense when writing her novels, especially "Sense and Sensibility." After reading the book and seeing the movie a billion times I have had plenty of opportunities to study and analyze (yes, I'm an analyzer) Elinor, Marianne, and their suitors.

In high school British literature, I chose to do a project on "Sense and Sensibility" and the meer i broke the characters down, the meer I began to see the differences between Elinor and Marianne and see how much they are a representation of realism and romanticism. (Both...
